10. Dasakanipāto

439. Catudvārajātakaṃ (1)

1.

Catudvāramidaṃ nagaraṃ, āyasaṃ daḷhapākāraṃ;

Oruddhapaṭiruddhosmi, kiṃ pāpaṃ pakataṃ mayā.

2.

Sabbe apihitā dvārā, oruddhosmi yathā dijo;

Kimādhikaraṇaṃ yakkha, cakkābhinihato ahaṃ.

3.

Laddhā satasahassāni, atirekāni vīsati;

Anukampakānaṃ ñātīnaṃ, vacanaṃ samma nākari.

4.

Laṅghiṃ samuddaṃ pakkhandi, sāgaraṃ appasiddhikaṃ;

Catubbhi aṭṭhajjhagamā, aṭṭhāhipi ca soḷasa.

5.

Soḷasāhi ca bāttiṃsa, atricchaṃ cakkamāsado;

Icchāhatassa posassa, cakkaṃ bhamati matthake.

6.

Uparivisālā duppūrā, icchā visaṭagāminī ²;

Ye ca taṃ anugijjhanti, te honti cakkadhārino.

7.

Bahubhaṇḍaṃ ⁴ avahāya, maggaṃ appaṭivekkhiya;

Yesañcetaṃ asaṅkhātaṃ, te honti cakkadhārino.

8.

Kammaṃ samekkhe vipulañca bhogaṃ, icchaṃ na seveyya anatthasaṃhitaṃ;

Kareyya vākyaṃ anukampakānaṃ, taṃ tādisaṃ nātivatteyya cakkaṃ.

9.

Kīvaciraṃ nu me yakkha, cakkaṃ sirasi ṭhassati;

Kati vassasahassāni, taṃ me akkhāhi pucchito.

10.

Atisaro paccasaro ⁶, mittavinda suṇohi me;

Cakkaṃ te sirasi ⁸ māviddhaṃ, na taṃ jīvaṃ pamokkhasīti.

Catudvārajātakaṃ paṭhamaṃ.
